Targetting the 7th crown for the country, in a report from Manila Standard, Ahtisa said, “I have to be the best in every way I can, even when nobody is looking, to stand out but not overpowering others. To meet with as much people as I can and to consider the Japanese culture as they are known to be homogenous people.”
